For once in my life,
I have someone who needs me,
Someone I needed so long
For once unafraid,
I can go where life leads me
And somehow, I know I'll be strong

For once, I can touch
What my heart used to dream of
Long before I knew
Someone warm like you
Would make my dreams come true

For once in my life,
I won't let sorrow hurt me,
Not like it's hurt me before
For once, I have something
I know won't desert me
I'm not alone anymore

For once, I can say,
"This is mine, you can't take it"
Long as I know I have love, I can make it
For once in my life,
I have someone who needs me

(For once in my life,
I won't let sorrow hurt me)
(For once, I have something
I know won't desert me
Ooooh)

For once, I can say,
"This is mine, you can't take it"
Long as I know I have love, I can make it
For once, I can feel
That somebody's heard my plea
For once in my life,
I have someone who needs me
